Ghost Ship - (***) Green Light.



A salvage crew that discovers a long-lost 1953 passenger ship floating lifeless in a remote region of the Bering Sea.



Let me say right away that this movie had a lot of very predictable components. Please forgive them when they split up and search the spooky ship alone. Forgive them when they don’t simply say, “Hey! I’ve been seeing all this weird shit too!” Forgive them when they don’t notify the authorities.



That being said, after a brutal big opening scene, this movie has a ton of great characters, scares, plot twists and images.



The acting was really good for a movie like this. Gabriel Byrne as Murphy and Julianna Margulies as Epps are really good. The entire cast is full of excellent characters. The special effects were great, not too much. I will caution you that there are a couple very violent scenes.



There were some missed opportunities however. Margulies was very wet on several occasions, dammit. And not wearing a white T-shirt.



Go see it. Boo…
